How Many Teeth Do I Collect in a Night?

I use the teeth I collect to make everything for me and my helpers.  These items range from chairs to cars to the computer I am using to write this blog.  We need teeth to create new items and repair old items, so I must collect many teeth every night to keep up with everything we need.

On average I collect 300,000 teeth from children around the world.  The collection of teeth takes time and so I slow down time so I am able to collect all the teeth for the night.

What Happens if I Don’t Brush My Teeth

Often children hear “Do this” or “Do that.” As a child, sometimes it is hard to understand why to do something. You hear these commands but you do not understand why it is so important to follow the rules. It is the same for brushing your teeth.

By brushing your teeth you will remove plaque, a bacteria, from building up and living on your teeth. The bacteria from plaque feeds off of the food you eat. The acid that is a result from the bacteria then eats away at your teeth, creating decay, or rot. This decay is unattractive and painful and very easy to keep from happening.

The moral of this story is brush your teeth and keep decay like this from happening.

What Does the Tooth Fairy Do With All the Teeth?

The teeth are used like bricks and toothpaste is used like mortar for my Tooth Fairy castle.  Tooth paste is easy to buy at the store so I am able to run down to the store and get it when I need it.  But children’s teeth are much more difficult to find, so I collect them as a child looses them.  Therefore when I start a new contraption, building, or appliance in or around my castle I have a large collection of teeth to choose from.

I have been collecting teeth for quite a while now.  I have finished my own living quarters quite long ago, so now I am working on homes for my helpers and their families.  The Fairy population has been growing at a fast rate and to keep up the building for all the fairies to live takes many teeth from many children.

You never know what your baby teeth may be used for.  I may have made my new dishes out of them, or a new bed, or even my own tooth brush.  But what ever your teeth have been used for they are helping the fairy community thrive and for that we thank you.

Why Should I Floss?

If you only brush your teeth but you do not floss your only cleaning part of your mouth.  Flossing removes the plaque between your teeth.  You only need to floss once a day, unlike brushing your teeth which should be done twice a day for two minutes each.  Flossing can help prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

If the traditional floss is not your cup of tea there are many different products that do just as good as traditional floss.  These include:

  • Floss Picks – These are plastic toothpicks with a pick on one end and floss strung across the other.  These are great for easy use.

  • Interdental Brushes – These have plastic handles with little brushes on the end.  These are better for a more sustainable, or earth friendly, floss.  Instead of throwing out a large piece of plastic every time you floss, you only need to replace the head after each use.

  • Waxed Floss – This is your traditional floss.  If you go to your local drug store and pick up floss this is probably what your going to pick up.  This floss works just as well as any other but it is cheaper but more difficult to use.

  • Non-waxed Floss – This is just like waxed floss but the threads are looser.  I prefer this floss to waxed floss because it can be tightened to reach small spaces and then expand and grab all the particles in one easy swoop.

Make sure you floss every day, no matter what you like to use.  All of these products are great ones, its just what you prefer and will encourage you to use every day.

How Many Teeth Will I Lose?

A child will usually lose 20 teeth between the ages of 6 and 12.  These 20 teeth are called deciduous teeth.  Not only are these teeth here to help a child chew their food, they are also here to save room for the teeth that are to grow in when they are older.  So even though you will eventually lose your deciduous teeth, they are important for the growth of teeth later on.

The teeth that replace the deciduous teeth are called permanent teeth.  A person will have 32 permanent teeth by the time all their teeth have grown in.

Wiggling the tooth is fine and can help the process along, but forcing the tooth out can cause infection.  Losing teeth is an exciting time so enjoy it and have fun with it.

Santa Claus and his Teeth

As a good friend of mine, I am concerned about Santa’s teeth. Even though the other 364 days a year I know Santa takes care of his teeth, Christmas is always a worry for me. Santa goes from house to house eating cookies and drinking milk. The milk helps makes his teeth become stronger, but the cookies have started to make his teeth decay. Help Santa’s teeth by leaving out a tooth brush and tooth paste along with cookies and milk.  Thank you!

How does the Tooth Fairy get into a room?

If you have not figured it out already the Tooth Fairy is magical.  I have special Tooth Fairy dust that makes me small and allows me to squeeze through cracks, slide down vents and if need be walk through thin glass, although that is not my preferred method.

Once I have received the tooth and have given the money I need to sprinkle the dust on the new tooth so that it can shrink and walk through windows with me.

If you look very carefully, after a visit from the Tooth Fairy you may find left over dust in your room.
